and numerical methods. The 2nd International Conference on Mathematical
Modelling and Computation and The 5th EASIAM Conference shall provide a venue
to exchange ideas in these areas and indeed any aspect of mathematical
modelling and computation, in promoting both established and newer national
and international research relationships. Participants from throughout the
region are especially encouraged to attend.
Aims and Scope.

Subject: Summer workshop for teaching numerics, Jun 2009
We are holding a Professional Enhancement Program (PREP) on 'A Discovery-
Learning Approach to Computational Mathematics' at James Madison University
this summer from June 8-12. The goal is to bring together a group of
professors with varied levels of expertise in teaching numerics to explore a
more discovery-learning approach to teaching these courses. We would love to
have a few professors with more research experience attend the workshop and
contribute their knowledge and wisdom. The registration deadline is April
27th. You can also find more information at
http://www.maa.org/prep/2009/discovery.html. Please feel free to contact me
if you have any questions or desire additional information.

Subject: Large Scale Computations on Grids (LaSCoG), Poland, Sep 09
LaSCoG'09
5th Workshop on Large Scale Computations on Grids
Wroclaw, Poland,
September 13-16, 2009
http://lascog09.info.uvt.ro/
The workshop will be held in conjunction with the Seventh
International Conference on Parallel Processing and Applied Mathematics
(PPAM 2009, http://ppam.pl).
Aim: The paradigm for execution of large-scale computations, whether
they originate as scientific or engineering applications, or for
supporting large data-intensive calculations, is to utilize multiple
computers at sites distributed across the Internet. In particular,
computational grids are collections of distributed, possibly
heterogeneous resources which can be used as ensembles to execute
large-scale applications. While the vision of the global
computational grid is extremely appealing, there remains a lot of work
on all levels to achieve it. In this context the LaSCoG workshop is
envisioned as a forum to promote exchange of ideas and results aimed
at addressing complex issues that arise in developing large-scale
computations on grids and running applications on them.
Important dates:
Submission of Papers: April 30, 2009 (extended)
Notification of Acceptance: May 31, 2009
